Ajax Amsterdam manager Frank de Boer has urged Christian Eriksen to remain with the club.
The Danish wunderkind has been heavily linked with Manchester United but de Boer hopes he remains in Holland to further develop his game before eventually moving onto a bigger club.
"Of course maybe he will play for a big team like Manchester United in the future. But I think he wants to show what he is capable of in this kind of team.
"It would be better for him to stay until he was 25 because you learn a lot in the Netherlands.
"If you leave afterwards you are a more stable player and ready to play in the big leagues.""Christian is a smart kid," he said.
